Comments
For the best effect, use the argument list from a when-argument or every-time-argument based event to supply the names for the created ships. That way, it is possible to use SEXPs such as change-iff and add-goals to modify the behaviour of the created ships, something which is not possible with a name that is simply typed in - Neither FRED nor FSO will accept a SEXP call to a ship name that does not exist in the mission, but they will accept <argument> even if the actual names in the argument list do not yet exist.
